Colchester Oyster Fayre

3rd - 4th June 2023

NANMA are venturing forth with the usual rogues and reprobates to support the Oyster Fayre. Our medieval camp kitchen will be manned by the 'Kitchen Witches' who will enchant you with proper medieval cookery from the 14th century book 'A Forme Of Curry', which has absolutely no korma/or biriani related products (before you ask). Come and chat to the medieval artisans, and for the big and small people there is and opportunity to try out as an apprentice scribe, how well can write with a quill? .For the less focussed the local squirrels are also very so entertaining, bring some nuts. For information on the venue and location please follow the link in blue above.

Did you know: The Colne oyster fishery dates to the Roman era and appears in the Doomsday Book. The borough of Colchester obtained rights to the fishery under the provisions of its Royal Charter granted by Richard I in 1189. The oysters obtained from the fishery are known as "Colchester Natives" (the native oyster, Ostrea edulis).

The Fayre is open to the public form 10;30am till 5pm both days. Please follow the url in blue above to access the Oyster Fayre website. The location is Lower Castle Park, St Peters Street entrance (Ryegate) Colchester, C01 1HL
